  1. Forty Years Ago (continued)

    (continued from previous page)
    Began the strife that gave us life some Forty years ago.
    Then, here's a health and lots of wealth to all who love our Isle,
    May kindly Fortune and Good Luck forever on them smile;
    And may we always act as straight and strike as good a blow
    As those who raised the Land League Flag some Forty years ago.
